The Fisheries Law Centre Information

FLC is a grass roots not-for-profit research center in Vancouver, Canada. The center has three mandates: 1) to conduct research in the field of fisheries, aquaculture and seafood laws and regulations; 2) to build capacity by educating law students, lawyers, and other stakeholders in the area of fisheries and aquaculture laws; and 3) to facilitate legal representation to underprivileged small-scale fishers and NGOs wherever possible. At FLC, our aim is to protect the environment and consumers, and to support family fishermen and coastal communities. Although we are based in Canada, our outreach is global.
